"The simple act of 'doing business' wouldn't bind anyone to that kind of arbitration, would it? Sorry, but that's how you made it sound."

Right. The practical reality of business to day is that if you "do business" with someone, you're going to be signing some kind of agreement - a purchase agreement, or a longer more detailed contractual agreement.

So you are saying that Moslem businessmen can bind non-Moslems to Sharia just by waving a lot of money at them, and getting them to sign an agreement with Sharia in the boilerplate. "It's our standard contract ..... you submit or die."
